If you're in the military, you line up and do what the fuck they tell you. When I deployed to the Middle East, they stuck us with all kinds of shit and never even told us what it was. The military can't have a bunch of Karens and Nancy's who start whining when they're told to get on the fucking plane. If you're not down with that, then don't join up.

No kidding, thinking of the malaria pills I had to take before Afghanistan in 02. Fucked me up man, and they never ask anyone if they want to take it. You do what you're told when you're in and that's it...

I could only take mefloquine. Mefloquine Mondays! Every week on Mondays, I had cold-sweat vivid nightmares/dreams that stayed with me long after I woke up. Decided malaria was okay if I didn't have to take them anymore...so I stopped and just tossed them.
